Implementation of Fuzzy Technology in Complicated Medical Diagnostics and Further Decision

Abstract

This chapter presents the importance of fuzzy expert systems in the medical field. Efficient and suitable medical work becomes difficult many times without the knowledge of the rules of logic. The chapter highlights the ways of implementing both classical logic and non-classical approach (e.g. temporal and fuzzy logic) in some adverse areas of medical diagnostics. The implementation of fuzzy expert systems is supported by some examples illustrating how indispensable the cognition of logic and showing how applying logic can effectively improve work in medicine. Fuzzy Expert Systems for diagnosis of urinary incontinence, Parkinson's disease, including neurological signs in domestic animals, as well as its implementation for diagnosis of prostate cancer are elaborately discussed.
